Between getting to the airport around dinner time and knowing I had a meal flight, I had skipped dinner. I didn't get a chance to ask the FA about it. ...
ORD-DEN is not BF, it is domestic F or in a 3-class domestic business.
The normal process is meals are served on based on scheduled departure even when delayed. The crew should have announced the reason for no meals.
I have breaksfast served on a 4 hour delayed flight when lunch would have been more appropriate -- but the flight is catered based on scheduled departure. Perhaps for massive delays the catering may be redone. But I have never had a dinner flight skip the meal for a 1 or 2 hour delay.
